A device to reduce birth tears in first-time mothers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a special pad or device used during vaginal birth to help prevent tears in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus). It may help first-time mothers have fewer injuries and recover more easily after delivery.

This study tests whether using a birth ball and having perineal massage during labor can reduce pain, lower the chance of tears, and make the birth experience more satisfying. If you're having a vaginal birth, these techniques might help you feel more comfortable.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
This study tests a device called ASISU that is placed on the perineum during vaginal birth to help prevent tears. It is being used in routine hospital care for first-time mothers who are at least 37 weeks pregnant.
This study tests a special training program for first-time mothers to improve recovery after giving birth. It aims to improve quality of life after delivery by teaching better care for the area between the vagina and anus (perineum).
